Interview: Wonderland of E

Gwen: First off, thank you for doing this interview with me! WoE is a very exciting project and defintely one of the most looked forward too collections this year, how do you feel as you're about to release your collection?

Emily: Well thank you for these extremely kind words. It feels amazing to hear (more like 'read') that! I'm super excited about its release, and I must tell you that I'm pretty nervous about it aswell. It's my very first collection and I've put a lot of effort into it, I really did my best to satisfy WOE's fans, who are expecting something really special and edgy. I promise it won't be a regular collection, and I really hope you'll like it!

Gwen: I'm know we all will, and everyone is very excited to see what's coming out! Speaking of your WOE fans, I know that we all want to know, what was your inspiration, making this collection?

Emily: It will seem quite obvious when you'll see the collection. It was mainly inspired by my beloved Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. The Cleopatra-like outfits and her straight-cut hairstyles inspired me a lot during the creating of this collection, and the godess-like dresses that women used to wear in Greece also had a huge influation on it. But I tried to modernise it all a bit, I didn't want to keep it too simple, copied.

Gwen: Sounds amazing! That styling sounds like something I'm really going to enjoy. We all know that making a fashion line is very hard, and takes a lot of time and skill, how does it feel as you're about to release something you've worked so hard on to be judged by everyone else out there?

Emily: It feels... well, weird. I've never been through anything like this before, so it's quite hard to tell. It makes me nervous, I want to know the other people's opinions, but at the same time it makes me wonder if I could have done better, and it feels like they might not like it. It's an extremely weird feeling!

Gwen: I'm sure it is! I'm sure everyone will appreciate and love what you've done. So, finally, what we all want to really know is: after SFW what is the future of WOE Couture?

Emily: Well, I'm sure that I'll be continuing to make Wonderland Of E's couture collections, and we'll try to get WOE to the top of the stardoll fashion industry. Because that's what all of the stardoll designers are aiming for, right? Not to mention that WOE's going to be creating exclusive, tiny extra collections, but that's going to be in the future, so I'd rather not talk about it at the moment. I'll do it when I and Egle will be certain about what we're going to do next. And now, let's just wait and see what the public thinks of our recent works!

Gwen: Great! So once again, I want to thank you so much for taking some time out on your big day to do this interview with me, and I'm truly very excited to see the collection later on today.

Emily: No problem, you're more than welcome. Oh, well I'm excited aswell! See you there!

Mandy's Review Of Kharma

KHARMA
 

The first collection was just released from Stardoll Fashion Week, entitled Kharma by Linus Leonardsson. First words... Am I impressed or what? I'm in love with the shapes and colours used in this collection, a big hit for Stardoll Fashion Week I'd say. We also asked the fabulous Mandy AKA Poohg_1993 about her opinion on the collection, here's what she had to say...

"I absolutely LOVE the use of the grays and greens. The big sweaters with the big heels and short skirts is so New York!" My favourite outifts are the ones below! What are your thoughts?

Interview with Amanda

Interview With Amanda (Blahm3)

Rihanna Cole: Hey Amanda, thanks for taking your time to complete this quick interview on your debut release of your collection - BYS.'

Amanda O'Neill: Hey, Thank you so much for interviewing me, its a pleasure :)

Rihanna Cole: Your very much welcome! Now about your amazing collection, witch has just been released! Is fascinating. I just pretty much loved everything about it! The whole mixture of themes, but does eveybody? It's your first time releasing a collection at SFW, do you think you can deal with people not liking your's & Tonia's work?

Amanda O'Neill: Well we had some major issues throughout the collection, but we think that we pulled it together and managed to put out a pretty decent collection.We are open to criticism as this will just make our next collection even better. We understand that our clothes might not be for everyone, but i am sure yous are all tired of seeing the same things

over and over again.

Rihanna Cole: I agree - releasing and a collection has got to be a big deal, but you pulled it together and now your collection is one of the greatest I have seen. Now one last question before I go and get myself drunk! Are you hoping on releasing and next collection?

Amanda O'Neill: Yes indeed it is. Of course this has been just the start of BYS Fashion Line. We are hoping to recreate our self's and soon release a new, and better collection ! Also to let the readers of TTT in on a little secret. I have already started to draw up some designs for our future collection.

Rihanna Cole: That's wonderful news Amanda! I'll be sure to keep myself updated. Now I will be a model for the next collectiong right? Haha, now I am so sorry but It's the end of our interview! It has been great interviewing you (even though it has been a short & sweet one)!

New Stardoll Offer; Too Good To Be True?

Just a few moments ago, Stardoll presented us with yet another cool offer, this time celebrating gaining 250,000 twitter followers. At first I only glanced past the message as I tend not to examine messages I recieve from Stardoll, but when I noticed the small print at the bottom I had to check it out. If I'm reading correctly here, it says you could win (just for being a twitter follower, I know right!) 250 stardollars, 250 starcoins and 250 weeks of Superstar membership.

That's the one that really got me. Everybody knows that there are 52 weeks in a year, yes? 250 weeks equals 1,750 days of membership and a huge 4 years and 42 weeks of Superstar. (4.75..) ALMOST 5 YEARS OF SUPERSTAR! Is this gigantic offer too good to be true? Or is Stardoll finally feeling in the generous mood?

To check out Stardoll's twitter just click here, and if you are interested in this momentous offer remember to follow!

On further inspection you can also see that a brand new store called Mawi is coming to Stardoll on the 25th April 2012. Here is what Stardoll has to say about Mawi...

"On April 25th, the MAWI store will officially open in Starplaza. Playing on a hyper modern concept, the MAWI boutique will be three extraordinary floors of galaxy-inspired, whimsical inventions with definite origins in the MAWI bubble-gum, teddy bear style."

Mawi is a jewellery brand, by the way!

Hotbuy Spotlight: Elite-Girl

Hello Stardollies! Jillian Rebekah with a shorter post on a elegant and huge hotbuys collection. Now when I came across the beautiful Elite-Girl's phenomenal collection, I instantly fell in love with every piece! From the simple pink Hot Buys Dress to the extravagant Hot Buys Art Dress, each piece in this room is desired by any Hot Buys collector. My favorite piece below is definitely the sophisticated Hot Buys Dress from Fallen Angel, which can also be seen below. I would rate this collection a shining 5 stars out of 5! Containing both older rare pieces and newer delights brought variety and thoroughly impressed me. What do you think of it? Beautiful, right? Which piece is your favorite, comment below!

Introducing... Maje

Hey? It's been a long time, no? Well, I haven't been so far, so I can't say it's a 'come-back'... Anyway, this blog wasn't made for writers talk about their life, but their fashion feelings, right?

So, today as the writer of the column 'Introducing...', please let me introduce to you : Maje.

As always, I talk about french brands to expand them. I feel like a mediator between the unkown-ish french brands and you! You readers represent somehow a portion of each country of the world and so I'm proud to offer you what I appreciate in mine.

So, Maje is a Ready To Wear fashion brand created by Judith Milgrom in 1999. The name comes from the letters of her own name (J and M) and the letters of her brother and sister (Alain and Evelyne). 

Here are some of my favorite clothes of the last collection from it:

Maje offers "beautiful clothes, casuals, chics, but also originality and fun".

So what do you think about this brand?

Magazines: Realism VS Virtuality

Magazines - Vogue, Seventeen, People, Glamour, Harper's Bazaar. They sound familiar in the real world, do they not? However what about in the Stardoll world? Not at all, actually. I asked three people about Harper's Bazaar and they weren't even sure what it was.

So some of you must be thinking, "How do they not know what that is?!" But it isn't a big deal, honestly. I'd like to believe most people read real-life magazines, but sometimes that isn't the case.

Sometimes, members of the Stardoll virtual Community rely on graphic designers and organizers to provide their fashion information, it's sad, but also true. Although Stardoll-related magazines aren't bad, they aren't real, published words.

Should we really depend on the fashion advice of others to make our choices? I don't think so. If you want real fashion, it should come from real magazines. Now, don't make mistake this as me saying that Stardoll Magazines don't give good fashion advice, because many do. Fierce, one of my favorite stardoll magazines of all time gave very good fashion advice, and I used to use some of it for my medoll, but I don't anymore. I follow my own path, and so should you, the readers of the blog.

Rocking Red Lips

The History of Red Lipstick

Red Lipstick is the most iconic cosmetic item known to man.

It has said to have been invented in ancient Egyptian times by Cleopatra,
and it has been worn in many ways, even Queen Elizabeth I was known to wear red lipstick during the 16th Century.

It began to popularize in the 1950's as upper class film stars like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor were know to wear it alot, this influenced young girls to do the same.
It carried on into the 1980/90's influenced by Madonna, then in the 2000's, it was most worn by Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, and Nicole Kidman.
As we are now in the 2010's, we have seen the likes of  Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and Rita Ora rocking the Iconic Red Lipstick and I am sure that the trend will carry on into the future.

So now into the Stardoll world, I am going to show you different styles of wearing Red Lips.

Gwen Stefani Inspired

Plaza Perplexities

With so many stores on Stardoll it is so hard to find many items (thus search was created) and the starplaza ends up looking exceedingly crowded... What I would love to see is a Starplaza clear up. There are so many pointless shops in the plaza, and there is also some previous, now removed, stores that I would love to see make a comeback... I present my official Starplaza Renovation.

Current Stores: Limited Edition, Killah, Miss Sixty, Velvet Orchid, Apres Ski, Eco Design, Young Hollywood, Antidote, Sea of Stars, Riviera, identiTEE, Wild Candy, Other World, Perfect Day, Windows On The World, PPQ, Decades, Bonjour Bizou, Evil Panda, Tingeling, Voile, It Girls, Mr, Pretty in Love, Rio, Fudge, Fallen Angel, Archive, Basics.

Stores I'd like to stay: LE, Miss Sixty, Apres ski, YH, Antidote, Riviera, PPQ, Decades, Bizou, Evil Panda, Voile, It Girls, Mr, Pretty in Love, Rio, Fallen Angel, Archive, Basics
Stores I'd like to go: Killah, Velvet Orchid, Eco Design, Sea of Stars, IdentiTEE, Other World, Perfect Day, Windows On The World, Tingeling, Fudge
Stores I'd like to see: More tributes and high fashion collections alongside starcoin only stores.
